๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’™ Volunteers’ Week Celebration! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŸ

We’ve had a lovely morning celebrating with the wonderful volunteers from Platform and our amazing TARAGGAN volunteers! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜Š There was plenty of yummy cake ๐Ÿฐ, lots of smiles ๐Ÿ˜„, and our volunteers were incredibly proud to receive their certificates ๐Ÿ“œ and goodie bags ๐ŸŽ in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

Volunteers play such an important role in our communities. They give their time, share their skills, offer friendship, and help make activities possible for so many people. Their kindness and commitment make a real difference every day, helping to reduce isolation, build confidence, and create opportunities for others to connect and thrive. โค๏ธ๐Ÿค A huge thank you to Ceri and Julie for the kind invitation and for helping make the celebration so special. ๐Ÿ’โœจ Well done to all the volunteers โ€“ today we celebrate YOU! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅฐ

Reconnect Through Cookery Fun!

At our first July session of Reconnect Through Cookery, our amazing members got hands-on prepping onions ๐Ÿง…, mushrooms ๐Ÿ„, and peppers ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ to add to our delicious Mayflower chicken curry! Some preferred it plain โ€“ all served with plain or vegetable rice ๐Ÿš and crunchy prawn crackers ๐Ÿฆ. YUM!
We had a sweet treat too โ€“ a slice of chocolate cake ๐Ÿฐ to celebrate Reeseโ€™s birthday! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฅณ
After lunch, we had a brilliant time playing bingo ๐ŸŽฑ and testing our brains with a fun quiz ๐Ÿง  โ€” big shoutout to: ๐Ÿ’› Peter the caretaker for all his support
๐Ÿ’› Sarah for being our bingo boss
๐Ÿ’› Nat for hosting the quiz like a pro!
These sessions arenโ€™t just about food โ€“ theyโ€™re about friendship, laughter, learning new skills, reducing isolation, and having a great time together. ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿง 
Thank you to our fab volunteers and members for making it all possible โ€“ youโ€™re the heart of Reconnect ๐Ÿ’š
